four years ago i taught a clarion which is a fight we can't come six-week long science-fiction boot camp and teachers comment into a week. i did weeks work out which i was told when everyone cries and has service break downs, indeed they do, which was great. at one point, one of my guys took me aside and said how can you tell which of us is going to make it? and i said no. he said that some of us are brilliant and some of us aren't. and can't you tell? is that the ones who make it will be the ones who write and write and write in some of the ones who are brilliant they have written brilliant stories and never write again. but the ones who get in there and write every day and finish stories ebony finish stories and write the next time, they will make it. and i saw him about four months ago in arlington as he was nominated for a nebula award. he didn't get the award, but still very proud of him. my wife and i have both the audio book versions. as such each voice actor. did you have those choices in mind is your writing the book? i suppose it did, but i also had to cheat because i had to st

what concerns me, is what the social science data now tells us. david campbell says 50 years ago, the divide in american society was between catholics and protestants and jews. today, the divide is between political conservatives is religion drives them to their conservatism, and secularists and liberals whose religion or secularism puts them in a category. in my view, interfaith work is furthering and deepening that poor decision. if it's not doing that, it's not doing its job. there are other movements that are bringing people together to vote for obama or articulate liberal theology. i play a role in those movements. interfaith cooperation is a civic movement that says that the american project is about people from very different backgrounds who disagree on cosmic things. huge thanks. abortion, went to javaone and the middle east. all of these things. and so will the nation together. i just have to stay at a time when people around the world from different religions disagree on cosmic things, and think that it is a reason to not build the natio

on real clear science we like to link to the best science news, the best science analysis. and that is, that's what we do. and so we try to put aside the partisan bickering and focus on what is good science and what is good science policy. so read major science journals, read the ab abstracts, those are good things to look at. and, you know, when you look at a position like gmos, which side do you trust? the american medical association, the national academy of sciences, the world health organization among many others, or do you trust peta ask and the environmental work withing group, groups that are for the most part anti-gmo and anti-technology. always look which groups side with the technology. genetically-modified foods. so my final thoughts, i'm not into keep l scores essentially. my book is not a response to chris mooney's book. it's simply saying, as paul harvey would say, what's the rest of the story? so we're just saying, look, yeah, the right thing gets some things wrong, but to pretended the left is great on science isn't true, and the point of our book, revealin

i mean, it's not rocket science to see that we have a democratic senate, a republican house and a democratic president, and that's going to be the same starting january 3 of next year for at least two more years. so we know what we're dealing with, and i think it affects us right now in the fiscal cliff negotiations because we are not going to do anything unless it is bipartisan. we will not be able to pass anything in the house that doesn't have significant republican votes in the senate, and the democrats in the senate are not going to be able to support something that won't require some votes of democrats in the house. so we are together, maybe it's like a dysfunctional family, but we do have to work together because without bipartisanship, nothing is going anywhere. therefore, i think you have to go back to negotiations 101. which is that someone in a negotiation has to win some and lose some. the other party in a negotiation has to win some and lose some. the president is not going to get everything he wants. the republicans in the house and senate are not going to get everything we wan
